I haven’t seen any at my local Walmart yet. I will keep my eye out for it. It’s like you said, the hardest part is finding the lady with the key to the knife cabinet. Thanks John.
Picked up one today and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and fit/finish. Once I flushed the joints, honed and strolled the blades it became a pretty good Barlow. NGL, the sheep's foot blade is what attracted me to the knife because I wanted a Barlow with that blade. Definitely going into my EDC rotation! Thanks for the great review!!
It's a Barlow ......... that's enough for me . ( To paraphrase W . R . ..I never met a Barlow I didn't like . ) I'll find a use for it . Good to see you again , hope you're well . Great video . Peace ✌️ , Be Free .
It's a nice looking knife. I think it's worth buying and checking it out. If its junk never buy another one. Walmart is new in the industry of knife making but worth checking it out I think. AUS 8 isn't the best steel but with the right heat treatment it can perform well, Buck is well known for doing a great heat treatment they're probably the best in the industry with heating 1095. Thank you for the review, TK. 😊
There he is John is back in action again……. You haven’t did a video in quite some time……… good seeing back in the game…….. I haven’t seen one of them in my Walmart yet I’ll find one sooner than later…….. thanks for the review stay well and be safe 😊
This knife is really nice. It's my favorite food knife. The sheep foot blade is good for chopping and the clippoint blade is good for processing meat. Came hair popping sharp too, which was a surprise to me as i didn't expect that from anything at Wal-Mart lol
I've carried and used a Barlow since I was 8 years old. The sheepsfoot blade is a good idea. Particularly on a goat and sheep farm. Can you trim a hoove with any old blade, sure but when you have a handy sheepsfoot blade, it goes a lot easier, with less chance of sticking yourself with the blade. I wouldn't worry about that clip being so thin. It a carving whittler so it's fine.
I have a doppelt and love it. It's what I consider an EDC Barlow, since with a bone handle you have to be more careful not to drop it so as not to crack the handle scales.
Thanks… 🙄🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂 Had to go to my local Walmart and pick one up! I walked up to the case and the lady asked me if I wanted something out of the case within 20 seconds of walking up! 😂👍 ❤️ I didn’t have any modern style Barlows. Absolutely love this knife! If I had the money I would have bought 2! I oiled mine with mineral oil and it opens and closes smooth and has helped a little with the walk and talk! I also painted the logo with some Red paint to add a little color. I believe it’s pronounced “Dopple” The “T” is silent Doppel as in “Doppelgänger”. Doppelt I also believe is “Double” in German.👍 This is now my new EDC blade for a while! I didn’t think I needed another knife… 🙄🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ But I guess I did! 😂👍 Keep the Great videos coming! “Swiss-Tech” started out with small keychain/pocket multitools. I remember “REI” (Sports/Camping supply co) carried Swiss-Tech. They also made bike multitools.
Great information Ichiban. Walking up to the case and having someone waiting on you is a rare sight, glad you had a simple experience in getting it. Cheers!
@@ThriftyKaniffy Thanks! I started laughing when the lady asked me! I immediately thought of your video. I literally watched it 20 minutes before I went to Walmart! 😃🍻😃 (Booger McGee)
I’m not a real big fan of the Barlow pattern, but I like the looks of this knife. I’ve got one of the Swiss Tech “Wurdig” knives, which has held up well, so I am considering this one. I’d like to look this knife over before purchasing, but my local Walmart never has them (or much of anything else, for that matter) in stock. Thanks for the info TK.
Just picked this up on clearance at Walmart for $22. It's fine, but the nail groove sucks so bad on the clip point. Hard to open. The sheep foot opens nice though.
I’m coming around a little bit more, to the whole modern slip joint knife thing. It def intrigues me. This one reminds me of a weird vintage Valor Japan folding hunter I have, where it’s a clip point and instead of the normal skinner, it has a big old sheep’s foot just like this. I like the big sheep’s foot, not a titanium fan really, especially coated blades like a few rough Ryders I have. Just not my bag aesthetically. But this is def interesting and affordable, and it’s a nice looking piece. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Review! I've seen them at the Walmarts around me but I've definitely made up my mind not to get one. Not a fan of that clip point blade. I do like the murderer out look but I would have liked a spay or pen blade as a secondary blade.
As you said, the tip is pretty tippy, should be used for light use. New slip-joint owners should use caution when piercing a plastic sealed package 📦 or anything for that matter; piercing a package the wrong way can result in the blade coming down on your fingers, please use caution when using a non locking knife, even experienced users can get cut.
This looks awesome! Really like it! Would have been nice to see the sheepsfoot nail nick on the opposite side of the blade. I like the bolster stamp with no shield. I see the back springs don't go all the way to bottom. Are those carbon fiber spacers at the bottom of the back springs?
Hey TK great review. Did you think it was good value? It looks like a cheap knife pretending to be an expensive one to me... I'm not a knife snob but I think there are a lot of better knives available at that price point or less....
@@ThriftyKaniffy I'm being picky. Black coating on the blades and the body, and a sheepsfoot(?) blade as opposed to a pen knife blade makes it seem like something else...again just me being picky. 😉
I haven’t seen any at my local Walmart yet. I will keep my eye out for it. It’s like you said, the hardest part is finding the lady with the key to the knife cabinet. Thanks John.
100%. That elusive key. Thanks, RG.
Nice! I like Barlows. And I love that combination of blades. Every time I carry a trapper I wish the spey blade was a sheepsfoot. 🙂
It is nice to have this combination of blades. Thanks, fpassow.

Doing what I can to feel better, thanks Michael. This is nice budget option for something a bit different.
Very innovative Barlow design. I like the Blacked out look and Aus 8 is pretty good. Have that on my Sog Seal Pup. Thanks for sharing TK!
Glad you like it, Andrew.

Yes definitely a surprise for me to see at Walmart. I like the blades for a Batlow, not entirely traditional, but it's a good change.

I like the idea to combine these blades as well. Thanks for sharing, Richard.

Yes, good point the handle will be quite a bit more durable than bone for EDC. Thanks, Seth.
Looks like a great budget option, and that carbon fibre looks great, thanks John
Yea the carbon fibre has a nice appearance to it. Take care, Matt.

@@IchibanOyabun Awesome, glad it helped you find something you like. Have a great weekend Booger.
thanks for the review. knife thickness is the handles thickness by the way.
Roger that. Thanks, Ray.
I really like that one, I’ll keep an eye out for it. 👍
Good stuff. Thanks, toolsgear.

Walmart's can be really inconsistent in inventory. I'd use the website to track one down near you. Thanks, Mike.
Cool piece! Gonna have to check my local walmart for one of those👍Cheers, buddy!
Good luck, David. Have a great weekend.
Hope you are feeling better!
My Walmart had in the display case a month ago. Gave up waiting for staff to unlock. Maybe be visit😉
The elusive key. It's like finding the end of the rainbow. Thanks, Gordon.
That's a good looking user knife!
Thanks very much James.
Looks pretty nice, I really like the clip point blade.
Thanks Steve, a really aggressive tip on the clip point. I appreciate you watching.
Seems pretty good quality.
Thanks for having a look, Mirek.
Scales with a different color would give it a more interesting look, still a very nice modern take on a Barlow knife, thanks for showing it, TK.
Yea it's so dark it's tough to photograph. A good modern take, indeed. Thanks, Jose.
Just picked this up on clearance at Walmart for $22. It's fine, but the nail groove sucks so bad on the clip point. Hard to open. The sheep foot opens nice though.
I found it a little challenging also. Thanks, Catnip.
They're getting closer
Well said. Tough to beat a Roughie in that price range.

Decent affordable option for something that's a little different with the added bonus of being able to pick it up nearby. Thanks, Joel.
I like that Barlow, I think I will get me one.
Lets us know how you like it. Thanks, Clifford.
I like this knife. I might purchase one.🙂
Cool George, hope you can find one. Thanks.
Those look really interesting 😊
Some Barlow fun at Wally World. Who knew. Thanks, Michael.
Its looks cool. Great review
Thanks very much, Dean.
Neat looking knife
Thanks, Jeff.
@@ThriftyKaniffy you're welcome bud. You folks have a wonderful weekend.
I love a good Barlow 2 blade as long as one blade is a small pen blade so I can clean my fingernails
A pen blade is great for that. Thanks for watching, Knuckles.
nice, might have to get me one
A nice modern take on a Barlow. Thanks, OMKR.
Nice if they replaced pointy blade with a saw. Would be a winner.
Interesting choice, thanks for watching Moontrak.
Awesome Review! I've seen them at the Walmarts around me but I've definitely made up my mind not to get one. Not a fan of that clip point blade. I do like the murderer out look but I would have liked a spay or pen blade as a secondary blade.

More times than not cuts are caused by doing something silly. Take care to use your knives as intended.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Agreed. 👍

Some type of layered composite material, hard to say for certain, could even be G10.
Nice knife! Not my brand tho!
No worries, thanks Loren.
Hey TK great review. Did you think it was good value? It looks like a cheap knife pretending to be an expensive one to me... I'm not a knife snob but I think there are a lot of better knives available at that price point or less....
No not the greatest bargain out there, but can be easily acquired for us in the US so there's some value in that I suppose. Thanks, Mark.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Thanks TK. It's great that you have bought and reviewed it. So other pepper can decide before buying it.
@@MB_EDC You really know how to spice things up.
@@ThriftyKaniffy FFS autocorrect🤣
I like the looks, not a fan of Aus-8 though.
Not may favorite steel either, but manageable Thanks, Scott..
I like it, but how do you not like a barlow
Love a Barlow. Thanks, Donald.
I love Barlow Knives. But definitely not that one. That clip point looks like it’ll snap off. Also no half stop.
Alright. Thanks for your thoughts, Gary.
So many better choices for the money great job reviewing the knife though
True, lots of options, but most unavailable at Walmart so figured it was worth taking a look at. Thanks, bigGeo.
Honestly, thats not a barlow...
...and why would that be?
@@ThriftyKaniffy I'm being picky. Black coating on the blades and the body, and a sheepsfoot(?) blade as opposed to a pen knife blade makes it seem like something else...again just me being picky. 😉
